This course will teach you the architecture, key concepts, and the integration requirements to use Illumio Core with Kubernetes or OpenShift.You will learn how Illumio Core provides visibility and segmentation for containerized applications. Before you take this course, please make sure you have taken the following course(s): Introduction to Illumio Core (Self-paced) before taking this course. 

This video course will teach you available methods for the deployment of the Illumio Core™ Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN).

Illumio Adaptive User Segmentation (Self Paced) is a standalone course that does not fall under any Learning Path.

Illumio FlowLink (Self Paced) is a standalone course that does not fall under any Learning Path.

When a VEN cannot be installed for visualization purposes, Illumio has an extended policy model that utilizes switches and the switch interface called the Network Enforcement Node (NEN). This course allows users to gain familiarity with Illumio Core's NEN. This course is a standalone course that does not fall under any Learning Path. 

Illumio Core provides vulnerability based micro segmentation, which can be managed through App group maps and Qualys cloud platform to target the most vulnerable areas of the PCE. Vulnerability Management (Self Paced) is a standalone course that is not part of a Learning Path.

In this course, tools are recommended that can be paired to the PCE for ease of use; C++ Absorption Toolkit and Workloader Tool. Illumio Tools (Self Paced) is a standalone class that does not fall under any Illumio Learning Path. This is a supplemental class for those who would like to learn more about the solution.
